To the wider world, the Doctors might be the multi-million-selling icons behind hits like “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong,” not to mention the classic “Pocket Full Of Kryptonite.” But in 2014, Chris Barron (vocals), Aaron Comess (drums), Eric Schenkman (guitar) and Mark White (bass) are reconnecting with the flat-broke twenty-somethings who scraped for dollars at the sharp end of the Big Apple blues circuit. The Spin Doctors have come full-circle.

Are you the ultimate Blake Shelton Fan? Here’s a chance to prove your devotion. Information is sketchy, but DO Atlantic City has just posted a picture of Blake with the contest announcement. I’ll be updating info as it comes in.

Fresh off of his co-hosting duties from this past Sunday’s American Country Music Awards, Grammy nominee and Country Music Awards (CMA) reigning “Male Vocalist of the year” for the 4th consecutive year, Shelton is a weekly TV fixture as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice”. Shelton just made history with the most consecutive No. 1’s on the country airplay charts with his current single, “Doin’ What She Likes,” marking his 16th No. 1 overall (11th consecutive). He also holds the “Album of the Year” award from the 2013 CMA’s for his current platinum-selling release Based On a True Story. Fans can also see Shelton this summer on his “Ten Times Crazier” tour.
Opening for Blake Shelton is Dan & Shay, the Nashville country-music duo touring with Shelton on the current leg of his 2014 Ten Times Crazier Tour, which kicked off in June.

If you’re like me, you’re always looking for something different to do on summer weekends. I love the beach, museums, public gardens, food festivals, fun runs, et.al., but sometimes I’m in the mood for a good old Knight Fight. You know, Camelot, knights-in-armor, battles between good & evil, a chance to wear fancy dress and pointy hats?

We get our chance to cheer for the heroes and hiss at the villains at Royal Rabbit Vineyards Medieval Afternoon in Parkton, MD on Saturday, July 12,2014. The Count and Countess Gellene welcome everyone to enjoy a day of medieval hand combat, archery, music and fun.

The porta potty is in place. (Always an important consideration.) The lawn has been mowed. (Great) The poison ivy exterminated. (Double Great) A mister will be set up to cool off if anyone feels like they are getting over heated. (Knights-in-armor always make me hot!)

BRING CHAIRS. SUN SCREEN. SMALL PAVILIONS FOR SHADE.

Make new friends. Dress up and be part of the dream. Drink your favorite Royal Rabbit Wines, have a burger, drink some more wine. Win the arm wrestling contest. Cheer for your favorite knight fighter.

Lively contests of olde include:

The best medieval garb (costume)
The best tavern/drinking song (to be sung in the tasting room)
The best musician(s) – bring your guitar, lute, or dulcimer

Entrance to the Medieval Afternoon is free

The amusement starts at 12 PM and continues until closing at 5 PM.

And to complete your royal day, try Royal Rabbit wines in their tasting room. I know I always sing and dance better after a couple of glasses of wine. 😉
